Endotoxin Level <0.10 EU per 1 μg of the antibody by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. See Certificate of Analysis for details. *Small pack size (­SP) is supplied either lyophilized or as a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS.

APPLICATIONS Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website. Recommended Sample Concentration Intracellular Staining by Flow Cytometry 2.5 µg/106 cells A549 human lung carcinoma cell line treated with recombinant human IL­1β, fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with saponin Human CCL13/MCP­4 Sandwich Immunoassay Reagent ELISA Capture 2­8 µg/mL Human CCL13/MCP­4 Antibody (Catalog # MAB327) ELISA Detection 0.1­0.4 µg/mL Human CCL13/MCP­4 Biotinylated Antibody (Catalog # BAF327) Standard Recombinant Human CCL13/MCP­4 (Catalog # 327­P4) CyTOF­ready Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation. Neutralization Measured by its ability to neutralize CCL13/MCP­4­induced chemotaxis in the BaF3 mouse pro­B cell line

transfected with human CCR2A. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 10­30 µg/mL in the presence of 2 µg/mL Recombinant Human CCL13/MCP­4.

DATA

Neutralization Chemotaxis Induced by CCL13/MCP­4 and Neutral­ ization by Human CCL13/ MCP­4 Antibody. Recombinant Human CCL13/ MCP­4 (Catalog # 327­P4) chemoattracts the BaF3 mouse pro­B cell line transfected with human CCR2A in a dose dependent manner (orange line). The amount of cells that migrated through to the lower chemotaxis chamber was measured by Resazurin (Catalog # AR002). Chemotaxis elicited by Recombinant Human CCL13/MCP­4 (2 µg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Anti­Human CCL13/ MCP­4 Monoclonal Antibody

(Catalog # MAB327). The ND50 is typically 10­30 µg/mL.

BACKGROUND CCL13, also known as Chemoattractant Protein­4 (MCP­4), is a CC that acts as a chemoattractant for , and T cells and as an activator of . Human CCL13 cDNA encodes a 98 amino acid residue precursor protein with a 23 amino acid residue hydrophobic signal peptide that is cleaved to yield an 8 kDa, 75 aa mature CCL13. Mature CCL13 lacks any potential N­glycosylation sites and shares a pyroglutamate proline motif with other human MCP proteins. Human CCL13 is most homologous to MCP­1, 3 and Eotaxin, exhibiting approximately 65­66% amino acid sequence identity. CCL13 mRNA is expressed by a number of activated cell types, including endothelial cells, macrophages, bronchial epithelium and type II alveolar cells, and perhaps lymphocytes. The bioactivities of CCL13 are mediated by the CC chemokine receptors CCR­2 and CCR­3.
